Pablo Neruda Quotes

"I am not jealous of what came before me""I do not love you except because I love you""The birds of night peck at the first stars that flash like my soul when I love you""In what language does rain fall over tormented cities""I want to see thirst inside the syllables""In your light I learn how to love""Tonight I can write the saddest lines""I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.""We the mortals touch the metals, the wind, the ocean shores, the stones, knowing they will go on, inert or burning, and I was discovering, naming all the things: it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.""I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body.""I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride.""I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.""My soul is an empty carousel at sunset.""All paths lead to the same goal to convey to others what we are""I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window""From your hips down to your feet I want to make a long journey""Let us traverse this long and winding road together, side by side""You know how this is if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything brings me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me""Everything is a ceremony in the wild garden of childhood""You are the result of the love of thousands"
